Free and paid parking is available for cars and motorcycles at a variety of locations around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Parking areas are divided into four color-coded zones based on the KNOW YOUR ZONE program, which is designed to help Speedway guests identify the best driving routes to parking lots located near their respective seating locations.

Tailgating is permitted in selected lots at IMS. Grilling is allowed on small portable grills, with no dumping of charcoal or ashes allowed. Portable shelters no larger than 10 feet by 10 feet are allowed in designated tailgating areas, with certain setup and removal restrictions.

No coolers larger than 14 inches by 14 inches by 14 inches can be brought into the facility.
